PSG vs Botafogo Predictions

• PSG have won their last three games to nil
• Botafogo produced only 0.9 xG in their 2-1 win over Seattle
• The Brazilian side have scored once across six away trips domestically this season

PSG can cruise to victory

PSG have scored nine unanswered goals across clashes with Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid, two of Europe’s most heralded defences. That’s ominous for the rest of the field in the Club World Cup, with the European champions displaying little fatigue despite their long campaign.

Botafogo were also able to win their opening game in the US, edging out Seattle Sounders 2-1. However, the MLS side created plenty of chances in that defeat, with the Brazilian side posting an Expected Goals tally of just 0.9.

PSG should be able to keep Botafogo quiet, with the French side keeping three successive clean sheets. The fitness edge they’ve had against Inter and Atletico shouldn’t be as big with Botafogo in the middle of their season, but the Brazilian side do have a questionable record in front of goal.

Botafogo have scored only once across their six away league games this term, which includes failing to score at some of Brazil’s top sides. The balance of this PSG side is fantastic, so back them to secure another win to nil in Pasadena.

Winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had three shots and two assists against Atletico, so he’s backed to get onto the scoresheet in this contest. The Georgian finished the 2024/25 campaign with three goals in his final two appearances, so he stands out in the anytime scorer stakes.
